Recently, there has been a lot of news coverage on banning things,
|
|
and censorship of others. Ranging from books, to gifs on the computers, to
|
|
IRC on internet. The list of items that are wanted banned grows daily and
|
|
never does it diminish. About once a month, I UL a file I get from somewhere
|
|
that is a list of things that have been banned here or there. After I read
|
|
them, I really have to question what the fuck is going on through people's
|
|
minds.
|
|
The one that got me the other day is this. Someone at a college
|
|
in Iowa or something like that, wants all IRC use banned at that college.
|
|
For those of you who don't know what IRC is, it is 'Internet Relay Chat',
|
|
although some people say it stands for something else. Either way, it is
|
|
just that, chatting. Basically, there are anywhere from 1000 to 3000
|
|
people on at any given time. There are usually hundreds of channels
|
|
you can join. All you do is '/JOIN #<channel>' and that puts you on a
|
|
semi-private channel depending. Channels can be 100% private, secret, invite
|
|
only, open to everyone who is on IRC, etc. It all depends. Anyway, you
|
|
get on a channel, or start one on your own. Other people may or may not
|
|
be on the channel but usually there is. I frequent many channels and
|
|
on the average there is about 8 or so people on. Sometimes more, sometimes
|
|
less. Anyway, so you and the other people can chat. If you just type
|
|
something, everyone sees it. You read what everyone else is saying also.
|
|
You can also privately send a message to whoever you want so only you
|
|
two read it. Either way, all you do is chat. The cool part is, on some
|
|
channels I have been on, I simultaneously chat with someone from New York,
|
|
Canada, Europe, Australia, and other countries. We don't know each other
|
|
of course but we all have common interests and can talk about them. There
|
|
is basically a channel for any topic you could imagine, and if there isn't,
|
|
then you can make one. What harm is there chatting with people around the
|
|
world? That is all it is, yet people at this one college want it banned.
|
|
That is complete bullshit.
|
|
Next, we have books. It seems that at every library, there is always
|
|
a book or two that has been banned for some reason. Most are banned because
|
|
of offensive language. A bad word here, or a bad word there, and some
|
|
bible thumpin bitch wants it banned. Who cares if the book tells about real
|
|
life, moral situations, etc. Some are banned because of content. Maybe
|
|
graphical sexual descriptions or something, I don't know. One 'ban' recently
|
|
caught my attention. You have seen the "where's waldo" books and posters no
|
|
doubt. Ok. In on book of those pictures, on one page, in the upper left
|
|
hand corner, is a small female who is standing up after water is poured on
|
|
her back. She is not wearing a bikini top and her breasts are showing. The
|
|
thing is, the whole female shown like that, is no bigger than this
|
|
character: O . And the book was banned by some uppity bitch because her son
|
|
pointed it out. Excuse me, but isn't that a little ridiculous?
|
|
People like that are a fucking menace to society. It is the close
|
|
minded thinking like that that causes so many problems. If some kid grows
|
|
up thinking it is bad to see a breast in a cartoon, what happens when they
|
|
get their hands on some porn flick when they are 15 years old? They think
|
|
that it is one of the coolest things that has ever been done, then they
|
|
show it to their friends, and they make a bigger deal of it. These same
|
|
kids grow up with a fundamental lacking of understanding 'birds and bees'.
|
|
From there, they know little about sex, and from there little about the
|
|
problems that are associated with sex, such as AIDS, diseases, and
|
|
pregnancy. It all leads to something else at one point or another.
|
|
They already censor television too much. It has been proven countless
|
|
times that if kids are exposed to 'obscene' or 'violent' things in a
|
|
semi-controlled environment, then they grow up with a better understanding
|
|
of that subject, and less problems arise from it. If it is common day things,
|
|
then kids don't think anything of it.
|
|
Another thing that bothers the hell out of me, is BBSs around here,
|
|
and other places. These files, the F.U.C.K. files, have been banned of a few
|
|
local boards for various reasons. Usually the name alone does it. People
|
|
don't have the fucking insight to read what is uploaded to them. So they
|
|
think it is some cheezy XXX text file. Either way, they are banned, therefore
|
|
censoring what I and others say, even though these files will improve other
|
|
people if they read them. Many BBSs will censor posts and messages by
|
|
saying the board rules include no cussing. Other sysops, outright delete
|
|
posts with an offensive word. Excuse me, but isn't one of the ideas of a
|
|
BBS to be able to express yourself, and share your ideas with others?
|
|
What is a word? Fuck. To me, is slang for having sex. It means
|
|
nothing further. If someone says fuck you, it means exactly that. If someone
|
|
says shit, then it is human feces. If someone says damn, then it means
|
|
curse. Damn it, means curse it. Nothing more. So what makes these words
|
|
offensive, and not the words, crap, curse, and fornication? They mean the
|
|
same thing. The only difference, is they hype behind each word. Kids grow
|
|
up these days learning that those words are bad, and mean vile things, and
|
|
that corrupts their minds far more in the long run.
|
|
Although those are only two examples above, look at what it shows
|
|
you is getting banned. If people can get away with banning shit like that,
|
|
then what is next? Free speech is losing its meaning so fast and you really
|
|
have to question whether it is too late to stop it. More and more items
|
|
are banned for one reason or another, and nothing ever gets off the ban
|
|
list it seems, and if it does, you don't know about it and therefore don't
|
|
look for it.
|
|
All I can ask is this. If something in your area is about to be
|
|
banned, then make a copy of it. Spread the news around, and let everyone,
|
|
not just one misguided person decide if it should be banned or not. Don't
|
|
let a small group control part of your surroundings like that.
